That's unfortunately an understatement. It's a good thing he's staying connected with football for now.

They haven't played with more Canadians than required. They used more Canadians on O and D, yes.

I don't mind it if it's a back to back. But bullshit if not. We have a bunch of back to backs they could have tighter weeks between. Also crazy how much we play BC and Calgary in the first 8 games.

Lawler has played 62% of games the past 3 CFL seasons. Schoen has played 68%.

If he could he would've been their starter. His NCAA career shows that he's a specialist. Shiltz and Dolegala are basically the same as decent QB's but have opposite flaws. Shiltz can't do anything vertical. Dolegala struggles with accuracy in mid-range. If Collaros is the starter, Dolegala is a way easier guy to slot in as a backup IMO because we are built on vertical passing game.

On a vet laden roster that WIL LB spot should be a rookie salary. Especially when the incumbent is in steep decline and cannot stay healthy. Not going to win in 2025 with 2021's roster.

Difference was definitely personnel. We were used to having guys like Jeffcoat and Sayles who are explosive. Hall rarely rushed more than 4 and almost never more than 5. Not like we were running some zone blitz scheme. We've had the same issue for 2 years now. Saw a little bit of that from Adams and Woods, but nothing from the edge guys. Need to do a lot of work recruiting there on both sides of the border and with the Global players.

That's exactly how it is. If he comes back to CFL he comes back to Bombers until end of his current CFL contract. If you watch any NCAA bowl game there's 2-3 guys per game better than a guy like Wilson. He'd do pretty good to make it through OTA's and into August. The NFL is completely saturated at receiver and he doesn't really have a way to make the game roster unless he's one of the top 3 receivers on a team.

Insane to me that a guy like Wilson gets a shot based on his CFL resume which was pretty meh (if I was going to Madden rank him as a CFL player he’d be about 80 with some unrealized potential) but a guy like Schoen can’t get a legit shot. Even Lawler although there might be some emotional regulation analysis attached to him. I get age…although if you get 1-2 good years out of a UDFA guy you’ve done pretty good. Schoen is also the ideal kind of tweener slot receiver/tight end guy. Wilson doesn’t really have size or speed going for him at pro level. Can win in man, started to understand his job better with more time with Collaros as a rookie.

Interesting fact about Edmonton last year... They had the #1 offense by points per game, yards per game and rushing yards per game and yards per carry with MBT starting. They dropped to 8th in points, yards and yards per carry when Ford started. I'm quite happy they've gone "all-in" on Ford. Good luck to them on their quest to finish higher than 4th in the division with him.

Ask Korey Banks about the FIFO origin story.

Streveler is a free agent with 2 torn knee ligaments.

He's played a substantial amount in 3 games since his knee injury and in one of those games he tore his achilles....so yeah, every other game.

Masoli's joints are failing him. If he wants to be more of a 3rd QB/QB coach I'd consider it. But you need another guy who can reasonably play if you bring him in. Ottawa was a good spot for him with Crum too. Personally I'd be interested in Stevens from Calgary to be a run weapon. And then decide if Wilson is worth developing further. They don't really have to decide that until training camp, and if they want to keep 4 QB's around, use the injured list to do it. I'd keep someone like Dolegala as our actual backup passing QB.

Probably not enough to lock him in a starter though. Could easily add another guy at 350 to compete. That's basically total compensation they were already paying him and MBT. Also had the guarantee on Cornelius.

Would be pretty easy to do better at LB next year. Find a guy who can play WIL. Guys we cut went nowhere. Petrishen is like 30.

Nah Wade Miller's son and nephew were both really good players. His son is at Guelph, nephew stayed at U of M. His son is a solid MLB but was insanely athletic for WHSFL. Easily could have played tailback.

BC just re-signed 3 guys that they cut in camp and didn't keep around much during season. Pool is a lot shallower with expanded NFL rosters and no restrictions on practice rosters plus increased pay.

Same amount of Americans and Canadians on the roster. Who is an American guy they are holding back?

The biggest issue here with the team starting to crumble is that they aren't really finding guys on the US side who make a difference. Look at receiver/running back/receiver. We had 20 guys in camp and the only one who ended up not being a total dud was Ontaria Wilson, who is an average talent level CFL receiver. Rush end. WIL LB. Kicker/punter (Globals included who are mostly playing in US). They've been great at finding DB's and found Schoen. They've hit some home runs but also had some major whiffs. Need more singles and doubles.

Yeah really only had one guy starting this year who was our own first rounder in Dobson. Most of the Canadians they've built around have been 2nd round and below.

Can't overstate how big of a loss Goveia is. Not many around with his knowledge, connections and abilities across Canada. Sort of feels like this era is coming to an end.

Zack Williams is the guy you tamper for. Local kid, still lives here. Easy top 5 Canadian OL in the league today, in his prime. There's your RG for the next 7-8 years.

Neufeld is getting worse and worse in pass pro. Lots of chicken wings and shoulder checks. Doesn't get his hands on many people these days. Toronto ate him alive. Montreal ate us alive on the whole, we played 1 good quarter against them out of 8 this season. That's the kind of team you need to be able to handle to win the whole thing. If a guy like that is on the team next year we're not serious about winning. Dobson is terribly slow to get his feet moving in both run and pass. He's ok, and a bit more physically engaged, might be as good as anyone they can get in free agency. Should be pretty easy decision to focus on building out 3 Americans on the OL for next year short of Desjarlais being cut loose by Ottawa due to his salary or something.

Based on how he acted at the end of the season he'll be toxic in that role. They'll have some better options of guys who can play and might end up winning a bit of a competitive situation. Like Maier.
